Miso-Citrus Marinade
Episode 125: Miso-Citrus Marinade
This recipe is based on a traditional Japanese marinade that pairs sake and miso. I've brightened the classic blend by adding ponzu, the Japanese dipping sauce made with citrus juice, among other flavorful ingredients. Both sake and ponzu help "cook" the marinade into animal and fish protein, which is why the marinade delivers such deep flavor.
Make sure to buy ponzu without added soy sauce.
